Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `be moist' (Thphr.; on a disease of a fir-tree), also `fall off' of hair, also with ἀπο- (Hp., Ar., Arist., LXX).

Other forms: aor. μαδῆσαι

Derivatives: μάδησις `falling off of hair' (Hp.), μαδαῖος `being moist' (Poet. de herb.; after ἰκμαῖος?). - Factitive μαδίζω, also with ἀπο-, `remove the hair, pluck or singe bare' (medic.) with μαδιστήριον `instrument, place where depilation is carried on' = ευ῝στρα (Halicarn. I^a, sch.), ὁλο-μάδιστος `quite bald' (Cyran.), also μάδισος (s. below); as iterative μαδάσκομαι `become moist' (medic. VII^p). - Expressive enlargement μα[γ]δάλλει τίλλει, ἐσθίει; μα[γ]δάλλοντες τίλλοντες, ἐσθίοντες H., cf. κναδάλλεται κνήθεται H. and Debrunner IF 21, 91. - Besides μαδαρός `being moist' (Hp., Arist.), `bald' (Luc.) with μαδαρότης `baldness, falling off of the hair, the eyelashes' (Hp., Gal.), μαδαρόω `remove the hairs' (LXX Ne. 13, 25, v. l., Crete II^a), μαδάρωσις = - ότης (Gal., Vett. Val.; prob. direct from μαδαρός, cf. Chantraine Form. 279); μαδαρ-ιάω `suffer loss of hair' (Cleopatra ap. Gal. 12, 405). Beside μαδαρός there is μαδι-γένειος `with bald chin' (Arist.); cf. χαλαρός: χαλί-φρων.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [694] * meh₂d-? `be moist, drip'

Etymology: On the development `flow away' \> `fall out' cf. ἐκρέω `flow away, fall out' and Lat. dēfluō `flow down', also `fall out, go out' of hairs. - With μαδάω: μαδαρός cf. χαλάω: χαλαρός and the synonymous pair πλαδάω: πλαδαρός; but aor. μαδῆσαι innovation against χαλάσαι (as λαγαρός: λαγάσαι a. o.); the morphological analysis, however, remains uncertain, cf. Schwyzer 682 f. - Only formally different are: Lat. madeō `be moist, drip, be drunk' (after the intransitives in - ēre), OIr. maidim `break (out)' (intr.), `fall to pieces' (from *'flow out, away' v.t.; can be formally identical with madeō), Skt. mádati (themat. root-pres.), ma-mát-ti (redupl.) a. o. `be drunken, fuddle oneself, swallow, be marry'; further connections, partly uncertain, in Bq, WP. 2, 230ff., Pok. 694f., W.-Hofmann s. madeō; ib. more lit. Attempt to identify μαδαρός and Lat. madidus (\< - iro-s?), in Bloch Sprachgesch. u. Wortbed. 24. - Cf. μαστός and μήδεα. - Note (as backformation?) μάδος (- ον) as plant-name, = ἄμπελος λευκή (Dsc.), because its root was used for depilation; by H. rendered with ψίλωθρον, which may indicate the same plant. Besides μαδωνάϊς = νυμφαία, `water-lily' (Boeot. acc. to Thphr. HP 9, 13; because of its humid stand?); cf. Bechtel Dial. 1, 307, who with several others changes to μαδωνία (cf. Chantraine Form. 208). - Also μάδισος δίκελλα. οἱ δε μαδιβός H., prob. from μαδίζω, s. above a. Chantraine 435; cf. τάμισος (from ταμεῖν)? On * meh₂d- see Lubotsky, MSS 40 (1981)133-138.

Grammatical information: f.

Meaning: `girl' (Com.), late also m. `boy' (Aret., Hld.).

Compounds: φιλο-μεῖραξ m. f. `loving boys' (Ath., Paus.).

Derivatives: Diminut.: 1. μειράκιον n. `youth, younger man' (Hp., Att.) with μειρακι-ώδης `youthful' (Pl., Arist.), - όομαι `become adolescent' (X., Ph., Ael.), - εύομαι `id., behave as a youth' (Arr., Plu., Luc.), also μειρακ-εύομαι (Alciphr. 2, 2). 2. μειρακίσκος m., also -η f. `boy, girl' (Att.; Chantraine Form. 409). 3. μειρακύλλιον `id.' (Com.; cf. Leumann Glotta 32, 215 a. 225 = Kl. Schr. 242 u. 250).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [738] *meri̯o- `young (girl or man)'

Etymology: On the fem. gender cf. δέλφαξ, πόρταξ, σκύλαξ (also m.). We must start from a noun, perh. *μεῖρος (cf. λίθαξ: λίθος a. o.), which agrees with Skt. márya- m. `youth, lover', Av. mairya- (meaning unclear); and, with thematic k-suffix (independent of μεῖραξ pace Wackernagel-Debrunner II: 2, 540, Chantraine Études 160 m. A.1?), marya-ká- `small man'. The diminutive derivv. in Greek ousted the basic word. A fem. *μεῖρα (like στεῖρα) may be also considered. -- As remote cognates are adduced Lith. mergà `girl' and, with diff. vowel, Alb. shemërë f. `by-wife' (from *sm̥-m_erī), Lith. martì f. `bride, young woman' (cf. Βριτό-μαρτις? s. v.); further still the unclear Lat. marītus `with wife, spouse', s. W.-Hofmann s. v. Further details also in WP. 2, 281, Pok. 738f.; Fraenkel Wb. s. martì and mergà. Several hypotheses on the formation by Specht Ursprung 124, 148 a. 210.

Meaning: `mushroom', also metaph., e.g. `mushroomlike excrescence, any knobber round body, cab or cap at the end of a scabbard, snuff of a lamp-wick, membrum virile' (IA.).

Other forms: gen. also - ου (Ion. - εω), pl. - αι

Derivatives: μυκήτ-ινος `made of mushrooms' (Luc.), μυκόομαι `become like a mushroom, spongy' (medic.).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Formation in - η(τ)- (Schwyzer 462 u. 499) from a noun, which may be found in Lat. mūcus `snivel, mucus of the nose'; on the meaning cf. Slav., e.g. Sloven. glíva `agaric' to Lith. gleĩvės `slime' etc. (Schulze KZ 45, 189 = Kl. Schr. 619); further s. μύσσομαι. -- Diff. (hesitating) Strömberg Pflanzennamen 28: from μῦς `mouse' because of the grey colour as Fr. gris souris name of a mushroom. But μύκης is not only a grey mushroom, and its formation is unclear. Fur. 298 thinks correctly that the meanings of this word cannot be all explained from a derivation from μύσσομαι `snuff, blow one's nose' and assumes a basic meaning `prominent, extremity'. He connects the word with μύσκλοι οἱ πυθμένες τῶν ξηρῶν σύκων Η, which implies that the word is Pre-Greek. On the suffix - ης, - ητος (in Pre-Greek) s. p. 172 n. 118.

Meaning: ἄφωνος H. (in alphab. wrong position).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably], XX [unknown]

Etymology: One compares Skt. mū́ka- `dumb'. -- With dental μυττός (\< *-κι̯-?), μύτης, μύδος (H.), μύνδος (S. Fr. 1072, Lyc. 1375, Call. Fr.260; unterital. `with small ears', Rohlfs ByzZ 37, 58f.), μυναρός (H.) `id.'. On itself sands μύρκος ὁ καθόλου μη δυνάμενος λαλεῖν. Συρακούσιοι. ἐνεός, ἄφωνος H.; μυρικᾶς ἄφωνος, ἐν ἑαυτῳ̃ ἔχων ο μέλλει πράττειν H. (cf. v. Blumenthal Hesychst. 42). -- From sound imitating mū, s. μύω (?); on the dental-formations cf. Lat. mūtus, s. further W.-Hofmann on mūtus; with μύνδος (s.v.) Arm. munǰ `dumb' (\< *mun(d)i̯os?); s. auch 1. mundus. With μύρκος agrees formally Lat. murcus `mutilated', esp. of him, who, so as not to become soldier, cuts off his thumbs; it could be a loan from Lat. in Sicil. (rather than the other way round), s. W.-Hofmann s.v. - μύνδος may have prenasal. beside μύδος (and must therefore be retained; against Latte, whose note is not clear to me). I think that μυναρός is a misreading for *μυνδρος. The other forms cannot be easyly fitted in. Continues μυρικ-ᾶς a form *mur^y-k-? - The group is very unclear. (Do the the words with μυ(ν)δ- belong here?)

Meaning: `enervated (also mentally); dull, feeble, weak' (S. Fr. 963. Nic., Demetr. Lac.);

Other forms: also μῶλυξ (cod. - δ-; cf. v. Blumenthal Hesychst. 42f.) ἀπαίδευτος, μώλυκα τὸν ἀπαίδευτον. Ζακύνθιοι H.; μωλυρόν νωθρόν, βραδύ H.

Derivatives: μωλύω, - ύνω, - ύνομαι, aor. pass. μωλυ(ν)θῆναι, perf. med. μεμώλυσμαι, rarely with ἀπο-, κατα-, δια, `boil imperfectly, scald, simmer', med.-pass. `become powerless, fade away', esp. of wounds `fail to come to a head' (Hp., Arist.); μωλύεται γηράσκει, μεμωλυσμένη παρειμένη H. With the verbal nouns μώλ-υσις (- υνσις) f. `spoil' (opposite ἕψησις; Arist., Thphr.), - υτης ἐπέων meaning uncertain (Timo).

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: With μωλύω (to which μωλύ-ν-ω; cf. Schwyzer 728) cf. κωλύω; the much more rare μῶλυς may be a backformation. With a velar μῶλυξ like κόρυξ νεανίσκος H. (s. κόρη); μωλυ-ρός like ἐχυρός, καπυρός a.o. (hardly with Benveniste Origines 36 to μωλύνω with ρ: ν -change), if not dissimilated from - υλός (cf. Leumann Glotta 32, 223 A. 2 = Kl. Schr. 249 n. 3). -- Because of the not very clear meaning and the unclear formation etymologically hard to asses. By Fick 2³, 189, Bq a.o. connected with μέλεος (acc. to Bechtel Lex, 224f. and Specht KZ 59, 93 also ἀμβλύς); rejected by WP. 2, 285. After Prellwitz BB 26, 310 (accepted by WP. 2, 301 and Pok. 746) however to μῶλος. Diff. again H. Petersson Et. Miszellen 18: μωλύω to μολούω (s. μολεύω) as κωλύω to κολούω. -- Everything hypothetic. - The suffix - υκ- looks Pre-Greek.

Dialectal forms: Myc. kasato as PN, cf. Gallavotti Par. del Pass. 12, 10f.

Compounds: Compp., e. g. ξανθο-κόμης (- ος) `blondhaired' (Hes., Pi.), ἐπί-ξανθος `almost yellow, yellowish' (X., Thphr.; Strömberg Prefix Studies 105) beside ἐπι-ξανθίζομαι `become yellowish, brornish' (Pherecr.).

Etymology: Unexplained. On the proposed, in any case very remote cognateship with Lat. cānus `grey(white)' s. W.-Hofmann s.v., also WP. 1, 358, Pok. 533. Little value has the comparison with Etr. zamθic supposedly `of gold' (Brandenstein P.-W. 7 n, 1919), with which Heubeck Würzb. Jb. 4, 202 wants to draw also Σκάμανδρος. -- Cf. ξουθός. The word may be Pre-Greek.

Grammatical information: f. (on the fem. gender Schwyzer-Debrunner 34).

Meaning: `going, road, street, ride, journey, march' (Il.), metaph. `way out, means' (Pi., IA.).

Compounds: Many compp., e.g. ὁδο-ποιέω `to open a path, to make one's way' (Att.) with - ποιία f. `road construction' (X.), - ποιός m. `roadworker' (X., Aeschin., Arist.); ὁδοι-πόρος m. `wayfarer, wanderer' (Ω 375, trag., com.) with - πορία, - ίη `journey (on land)' (h. Merc. 85, Hp., Hdt., X.), - πορέω `to cover a distance, to travel, to journey (through)' (ion., trag.); ὁδοι-δόκος m. `bushranger (Plb.; Wackernagel Unt. 26); on the 1 member with retained locatival inlection to avoid a sequence of three shorts Schwyzer 239 a. 452 w. n. 5, Schw.-Debrunner 155. -- As 2. member e.g. in εὔ-οδος `well-roaded' with εὑοδ-ία, - έω, - όω (Att.), also in εἴσ-, ἔξ-, μέθ-, σύν-οδος etc. `entrance etc.' (since κ 90) replacing lacking verbal nouns of εἰσ-ιέναι (*εἴσ-ι-σι-ς: Skt. - i-ti-) etc. (Schwyzer-Debrunner 356 n. 2 w. lit., Porzig Satzinhalte 201).

Derivatives: 1. ὅδιος ( ἐν-, παρ-, ἐφ- a.o.) `affiliated with the road' (Il.); 2. τὰ ὁδαῖα n. pl. `goods, in which one trades on the way' (θ 163, ο 445; cf. ὁδάω below); 3. - οδικός a.o. in μεθοδ-ικός `methodical, systematic' (hell.); 4. ὁδωτός `equipped with, passable, doable' (S.

Denominative verbs: 7. ὁδεύω, very often with prefix, e.g. δι-, ἐξ-, μεθ-, παρ-, συν- (partly from δί-οδος etc.) `to travel by road, to travel, to wander' (since Λ 569) with (-) ὅδευσις (IA.) a.o.; 8. ὁδόω `to show the way, to lead' (Hdt., A., E.); 9. ὁδάω ( ἐξ-) `to sell' (E. Kyk.); ὁδεῖν πωλεῖν H.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [887] * sod- `course'

Etymology: With ὁδός agrees a Slavic word for `course etc.', e.g. OCS chodъ m. ' βάδισμα, δρόμος', Russ. chód `course, progress', which like ὁδός very often occurs with prefix and may have its initial ( ch- for s-) exactly from prefixcompp. ( pri-, u-, per-). These compp. justify also the furher connexion with Indo-Iran. verbs like Skt. ā-sad- `tread on, go on', Av. apa-had- `go away, become weak', so also with the verb for `sit, sit down' in ἕζομαι a.o. (s. v.), IE * sed-, to which as verbal noun, prob. fist with prefix, *sodó-s \> ὁδός, OCS chodъ. -- Details w. lit. in WP. 2, 486, Pok. 887, W.-Hofmann s. 2. cēdō, Vasmer s. chód; cf. Porzig Satzinhalte 306 f., Gliederung 170.

Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: `little, inferior' (Il.), `few' (posthom.); cf. the lit. on μικρός.

Compounds: Often as 1. member, e.g. ὀλιγ-αρχ-ία f. `rule of the few, oligarchy' (IA; after μοναρχία, s. μόνος) with ὀλιγαρχ-έω, - ικός (Att.), - ης m. (D. H.) On ὀλιγ-ηπελέων s. v., on ὀλιγο-δρανέων s. δράω, on ὀλίγ-ωρος s. ὤρα.

Derivatives: Comp. forms: ὀλίγ-ιστος (Il.), ὀλίζων (Il.), ὀλείζων (Att. inscr.; after μείζων); Seiler Steigerungsformen 101 ff. ὀλιγότης,. - ητος f. `small number' (Pl., Arist.), ὀλιγόομαι, - όω `to become small, fainthearted, to diminish' (LXX); ὀλιγ-άκις `seldom (Ion.)', - αχόθεν `from few places' (Hdt., Arist.), - αχοῦ `in few places' (Pl., Arist.). Also ὀλίγιοι εἶδος ἀκρίδων. τινές ῥιζίον, ὅμοιον βολβῳ̃ H. (s. Gil Fernandez Nombres de insectos 95) ? But the correct form seems to be ὄλιγγοι (Latte) s.v.; connection with λιγύς does not help; the word is Pre-Greek?

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [to be added] * h₃lig- `little'

Etymology: The adj. can be identcal with Arm. aɫk`at `poor' (\< * oliko- \< * h₃ligo-). Alb. lig `angry, meagre', but this may rather belong to λοιγός `ruin' (s. v.). Less clear are OIr. līach `miserable, unhappy' and OPr. licuts `small' (which fits well semantically), which have *k. There is no reason to connect λοιγός `ruin'.

Meaning: `damp, watery, spongy, soft, flaccid, tasteless' (Hp., A. R., Dsc.).

Derivatives: πλαδαρ-ότης f. `flaccidity' (Epicur.), - όομαι `to become soft' (Aq.), - ωσις f. (medic.), - ωμα n. (Suid.). Besides πλαδάω `to be watery, soft' (Hp., Arist., Ph.) with - ησις f.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: Expressive words, to be found esp. in the medic. lit.. With πλαδ-αρός: - άω: - ος agree the semantically close rhiming words κλαδ-αρός: - άω: - ος, μαδ-αρός: - άω: - ος; thus ῥυπ-αρός: - άω: - ος a.o.; s. Chantraine Form. 227. The genetic relation of these forms remains unclear; cf. on κραδάω, κράδη. -- No agreements outside Greek; formally closest is a Balt. verb for `swim', e.g. Lith. példu (példžiu), peldė́ti. If on separates the d (cf. κλαδαρός: κλάω (?)) one may connect expressions for `pour, spill etc.' in Lith. pilù pìlti (with zero grade) and Arm. heɫum (* pel-nu-mi) a.o.; s. WP. 2, 54f. a. 66, Pok. 798f., Fraenkel s. vv. Earlier, dated attempts in Bq (also Specht Ursprung 171 a. 228). -- (Not to πλέω, πολύς). - The word can hardly be IE; is it Pre-Greek?

Derivatives: Several derivv. Nom. actionis: 1. πληγή, Dor. πλαγά f. `hit, wound etc.' (Il.). 2. πλήγανον βακτηρία, πληγάς δρέπανον H. 3. πλῆγ-μα n. = πληγή (S., E., Arist.), - μός m. `id.'

(Dor.) `striker' (AP), πλήκτης m. `id.' (Hp., Arist.), ἐπι- πλήσσω `blamer, castigator' (Gloss.), - πλήκτειρα f. `who drives on' (AP). Adj., mostly as 2. member: 7. - πληξ, e.g. παραπλήξ, - γος `stricken sideways' (ε 418), `crazy' (IA.), `paralyzed' (Hp.) with - ηγία, - ηγικός (Hp.), οἰστρο-πλήξ `stung by a gadfly' (trag.); πλήξ as simplex only as designation. of a bandage (Sor.); 8. - πληκτος, e.g. ἀπόπληκτος `stirred by strikes' with - ηξίη, - ία (IA.); 9. ἐκ-, κατα-πλαγής `startled' (Plb., Luc.). 10. πληκτικός `striking, hitting' (Pl.; Chantraine Études 134 a. 138), ἐκπληκτι-κός (Th.) a.o. Verb 11. πληκτίζομαι `to fight' (Φ 499 a.o.), most `to dally' (Ar., Herod.) with - ισμός m. (AP), prob. rather enlargement of the primary verb (cf. λακτίζω and Schwyzer 706) than from a nominal τ-deriv.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [832] *pleh₂k\/g- `beat'

Etymology: With the primary yot-present πλήσσω from *πλᾱκ-ι̯ω agrees a Slav. word for `weep, lament' (prop. `beat one's breast'), e.g. OCS plačǫ (sę), Russ. pláču; to this the verbal noun Lith. plókis m. `blow, stroke'. Final media as in πλᾱγ-ά̄, πληγ-ή a.o. is also found in Germ., e.g. OE flōcan `clap approval', Goth. redupl. pret. faí-flokun ' ἐκόπτοντο', OHG fluohhon `curse' (IE * plāg-). The zero grade in πλᾰγ-ηναι (with sec. short α) is also represented in the nasalized πλάζω (with Lat. plangō); beside it with -k- Lith. plakù, plàkti `beat, chastise'. Beside these forms going back on IE * plāk-, plāg- [but not * plak-, plag-!] stand with deviating vocalism Lith. plíek-iu, -ti `beat, whip' (cross with an other verb?), Lat. plectō, - ere `punish, chastise' (ē or ĕ). -- Connection with the group of πλάξ (prop. `beat broadly'?) may be considered.

Denom. vb. ῥακ-όομαι `to become ragged, wrinkled' (Hp., Plu.) with - ωσις f. `wrinkling, wrinkledness' (Sor.).

Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: For ῥάκεα, -η stands Aeol. βράκ-εα (Sapph. 57), -η (Theoc. 28, 11), but in the sense of `(long) ladies' garments'; to this βράκος κάλαμος, ἱμάτιον πολυτελές H. Other formation: βράκαλον ῥόπαλον, βράκετον δρέπανον, κλαδευτήριον H.; cf. (without dissim.) ῥάκετρον `chopping-knife' (Poll.; v. l. ῥάχ- [after ῥάχις]) with - ετρίζω `split, cut through' (Pl. Com.). The deviating meaning `ladies' garments' creates doubt whether βράκεα, - ος in this sense belong here (s. Belardi Doxa 3, 199 f. with another, very doubtful etymology). The other words can be connected without difficulty with ῥάκος from Ϝράκος, with βράκαλον after ῥόπαλον, σκύταλον; βράκετ(ρ)ον seems to be a primary nom. instr., which like ῥάκος presupposes a primary verb, approx. aor. 2. *ῥακεῖν. -- No connection outside Greek. Old is the comparison with Skt. vrścáti `hew, fell (trees), split', with yūpa-vrask-á- `post-cutter' and the ptc. vr̥k-ṇá- `hewn, felled', which may stand for *vr̥ṣk-ṇá- and so makes a possible basis *ŭr̥k-nó- (= Gr. *Ϝρακ-) unnecessary. The from this reconstructed IE *u̯resk-, *u̯rosk- has a variant in the Slav. word for `rumple' (cf. ῥάκος, also `rumple'), e.g. Russ.-CSl. vraska from *u̯orsk-ā. Toch. A wraske `disease' is phonetically unclear and lies semant. far off. For IE *u̯resk-, u̯ersk- one could reconstruct an older *u̯reḱ-sk-, *u̯erḱ-sk-, through which the connections with u̯r̥ḱ- in ῥάκος would be established. An IE *u̯r̥ḱ- can however be found in the Indo-Iran. word for `tree' (prop. *'a felled tree'), Skt. vr̥kṣá-, Av. varǝša- m., IE *u̯r̥ḱ-s-o- beside *u̯r̥ḱ-os- in ῥάκος (s. Lidén in WP. 1, 286); then we have to abandon vr̥k-ṇá- \< IE *u̯rk-nó-. -- Cf. WP. l.c., Pok. 1163 (m. Lit.). Older lit. in Bq. -- Cf. ῥίνη, ῥινός.

Grammatical information: v.

Meaning: `to rage, to grumble'; with as backformation σκύδμαινος σκυθρωπός H. (Σ 592).

Compounds: ἀπο- σκυδμαίνω (Σ 65).

Derivatives: Besides σκύζομαι, also w. ἐπι-, (Hom.), aor. opt. ἐπισκύσσαιτο (η 306), ind. ἐπισκύσαι (EM) `id.'; act. σκύζουσιν ἡσυχῆ ὑποφθέγγονται, ὥσπερ κύνες H.; σκυζάω `id.' (Poll.). Also PN Σκύδρος (Delos IV^a)?; cf. Bechtel Hist. Personennamen 501. -- With θρο- or ρο-suffix σκυθρός `grumpy, murky, gloomy' (Men., Arat.) with σκυθρ-άζω `to be grumpy, murky' (E. El. 830), - ίων m. PN (Tanagra IV^a); on σκύθραξ μεῖραξ, ἔφηβος H. s. σκυρθάλιος. Mostly in σκυθρ-ωπός `with a gloomy look' (Hp., Att.; cf. Sommer Nominalkomp. 7 a. 9) with - ωπότης f. (Hp.), - ωπάζω `to look gloomy etc.', - ωπασμός f. (Plu.). As in ἐριδμαίνω beside ἐρίζω σκυδμαίνω beside σκύζομαι has its - μ- from πημαίνω, θερμαίνω etc. Thus beside σκυδ-: σκυζ- may have been built after ἐριδ-: ἐριζ-. In this way there is for σκυθρός no basis for a basic *σκυδ-θρος (from where *σκυσ-θρός and with dissim. σκυθρός; Schwyzer KZ 37, 149f.).

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [955] * skudʰ- `grumble'

Etymology: Without certain etymology. After tradit. interpretation since Bezzenberger-Fick BB 6, 240 to Lith. (pra-)skundù, -skudaũ, -skùsti `become nervous, tired, begin to feel pain', Latv. skundêt `grumble, commiserate (oneself), blame, gradge' etc. (WP. 2, 554, Pok. 955). The Lith. accent points to dʰ (wrong Pok.).

Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: `narrow, close, small, tight, slim' (IA.).

Other forms: Ion. στεινός, Aeol. (gramm.) στέννος.

Compounds: Often as 1. member, e.g. στενωπός, s. ὀπή.

Derivatives: στενό-της (ion. - ει-) f. `narrowness, tightness' (IA.); backformation (cf. Schwyzer 512) στεῖνος (ep. Il.) for στένος (A. Eu. 521 [lyr.]) n. `narrowness, narrow room, throng, distress' (cf. below; on the meaning Zumbach Neuerungen 43 f.). Denominative verbs. 1. backformation στείνομαι, rarely w. ἐν-, ἀμφιπερι-, only present a. ipf. `to be narrowed, to crowd, to be crowded' (ep. Il.), rare and late στείνω `to narrow, to crowd' (Nonn., Orph.). 2. στενόομαι (- ει-), - όω, often w. ἀπο-, `to become, make narrow' (hell. a. late) with - ωσις, - ωμα, - ωτικός (late.). -- Besides στενυγρός `narrow' (Ion.) with στενυγρ-ῶσαι aor. (Hp. ap. Gal.); PlN Στενύ-κληρος (Hdt. 9, 64). -- Zero grade(?), unexplained στάνει \<σ\> τείνεται, συμβέβυσται H.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin](X)

Etymology: From στενός: στεινός: στέννος follows PGr. *στενϜός (cf. also Att. στεν(Ϝ)ό-τερος, - τατος), a thematic enlargement of the suffix combination - γ-ρ- is seen in στενυ-γρός (s. Schwyzer 496 w. n. 9 a. lit., Chantraine Form. 225, also Specht Ursprung 192 f.) and the u-stem seen in Στενύ-κληρος (Schw. 472, Chantr. 122); beside it the s-stem in στένος (Porzig Satzinhalte 247). - Isolated. Hypotheses of doubtful worth in Bq and WP. 2, 627, Pok. 1021 f.; new attempt by Machek Zeitschr. f. Slaw. 1, 35 and Ling. Posn. 5, 69 f. -- There is, then, no IE etym.; στενυγρός may be Pre-Greek (see Beekes, suff. under γρ and ρ, ταναγρίς, βάλαγρος, γήλιγρος); the place name Στενύκληρος could well be Pre-Greek. Cf. Chantr. Form. 226. Furnée 226 "nicht sicher erklärt". DELG "L'étymologie de ce groupe de mots reste obscure." Note also στάνει.

Grammatical information: adj.

Meaning: `round, spherical, compact' (IA.).

Compounds: Compp., e.g. στρογγυλο-πρόσωπος `round-faced' (Arist., pap.), ὑπο-στρόγγυλος `somewhat rounded' (Thphr. a.o.).

Derivatives: 1. στρογγυλ-ότης f. `roundness' (Pl., Arist.). 2. - ιον n. `round bottle' (pap. VI^p). 3. - λω `to round (off)' with - μα n. (late). 4. - ίζω `id.' (D. H.) with - ισμα n. `terse expression' (Anon. Fig.). 5. - όομαι `to be or become round' (Plu. a.o.) with - ωσις f. (Hp., LXX a.o.), - ωμα n. (Al.). 6. - αίνω `to round' (Hippiatr.). 7. - εύματα H. s. γογγυλεύματα (: *-εύω) H.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]

Etymology: Formation as γογγ-ύλος, καμπ-ύλος, ἀγκ-ύλος a.o. Prop. *`drawn together, balled together, copast', to στράγξ a. cogn. (s. v.). Then στρογγύλος can be either an old full grade ο-ablaut as NHG Strang a.o. or have taken its - ο- secondarily from γογγύλος (Güntert Reimwortbild. 146 f.). Against the last supposition speaks however the wide spread of στρογγύλος. Diff. J. Schmidt KZ 32, 381: α \> ο because of the following υ (which is a rule of Pre-Greek!). -- A connection with στράγξ `squeezed out drop' is semant. far from evident to my mind (though στρογγ- may well continue * stragg- before υ).

Meaning: `South(west)wind', which brings mist and wetness (Il.), `the South, Southwest' (IA.); on the meaning Nielsen Class. et Med. 7, 5ff.

Compounds: Some compp., e.g. Εὑρό-νοτος m. `Wind between Εὖρος a. Νότος' (Arist.).

Derivatives: A. Subst.: 1. νοτία, - ίη f. `wetness' (Θ 307, Arist., Thphr.); it could also be am abstractformation in - ία from νότιος, s. Scheller Oxytonierung 54 f.); from it νοτιώδης (Gal.) = νοτώδης (s.b.) and νοτιάω `be wet, drip', if not rather νοτ-ιάω (s.b.). -- 2. νοτίς, - ίδος f. `wetness' (E., Pl., Arist.). -- B. Adj.: 1. νότιος `rainy, wet' (ep., Hp.), `southern' (IA.); on the retention of - τι- Schwyzer 270; 2. νοτερός `ds.' (IA.); 3. νότινος `id.' (pap.); 4. νοτώδης `id.' (Hp.); 5. νοτ-ιαῖος `south(west)ern' (Herm. ap. Stob.). -- C. Verbs: 1. νοτίζομαι, - ίζω `become, be wet, make wet', also w. prefix, e.g. κατα-, ὑπο-, (IA.); from it νοτισμός `wetness' (Sor.). -- 2. νοτέω (hell.), νοτ-ιάω (Arist.; Schwyzer 732; cf. above) `be wet, drip'.

Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]

Etymology: Of νότος, prob. orig. verbal noun, *'dripping, rainin' w.t., remind formally and semant. νέω and νήχω `swim' (s. vv.); a t-formation also in Lat. nătō `swim' as well as in Arm. nay `wet, fluid' (PArm. * nato-), who however both have a deiating vowel (IE. snǝ-t, beside snā- in nā-re, νή-χω, would give other problems). For νότος we expect rather * sn-ot-os. So this leads nowhere. WP. 2, 692f., Pok. 972. The form may be Pre-Greek.

TestJob 47:3) B 10:11 and as a time of perfection αἰ. ἀλύπητος an age free from sorrow 2 Cl 19:4 (cp. αἰ. … τοῦ ἀπαραλλάκτου TestJob 33:5), while the present αἰών is an ‘aeon of pain’ (Slav. Enoch 65, 8).—The plurals 1 Cor 10:11 have been explained by some as referring to both ages, i.e. the end-point of the first and beginning of the second; this view urges that the earliest Christians believed that the two ages came together during their own lifetimes: we, upon whom the ends of the ages have come (JWeiss. A Greek would not refer to the beginning as τέλος. The Gordian knot has οὔτε τέλος οὔτε ἀρχή: Arrian, Anab. 2, 3, 7). But since τὰ τέλη can also mean ‘end’ in the singular (Ael. Aristid. 44, 17 K.=17 p. 406 D.: σώματος ἀρχαὶ κ. τέλη=‘beginning and end’; 39 p. 737 D.: τὰ τέλη … δράματος; Longus 1, 23, 1 ms. ἦρος τέλη; Vi.

Cp. TestLevi 14:1 ἐπὶ τὰ τέλη τῶν αἰώνων.—For the essential equivalence of sing. and pl. cp. Maximus Tyr. 14, 8b τὰ τῆς κολακείας τέλη beside τέλος τῆς σπουδῆς. Cp. also τέλος 5.

③ the world as a spatial concept, the world (αἰ. in sg. and pl. [B-D-F §141, 1]: Hippocr., Ep. 17, 34; Diod S 1, 1, 3 God rules ἅπαντα τὸν αἰῶνα; Ael.

βασιλεία, ας, ἡ (Heraclit. Fgm. 52; Hdt.+) a term relating to royal administration

① the act of ruling

ⓐ gener. kingship, royal power, royal rule (1 Km 15:28; 20:31; Sir 10:8; Jdth 1:1; Esth 3:6; 1 Macc 1:16 al. LXX; En 98:2; TestJob 33:9; Just., Tat., Ath.; οὐ βασιλείαν ἀλλὰ τυράνιδα Mel., P. 49, 354; Orig.) λαβεῖν ἑαυτῷ βασιλείαν obtain royal power (for oneself) Lk 19:12, 15; without dat. Rv 17:12 (cp. Jos., Ant. 13, 220); δοῦναί τινι τὴν β. vs. 17; ἔχειν β. ἐπί τινων vs. 18; ἐποίησεν ἡμᾶς βασιλείαν he gave us royal jurisdiction 1:6; cp. 5:10; royal rule Lk 1:33; 22:29; 23:42 v.l. (ἐν τῇ β. σου in your royal power); Ac 1:6; Hb 1:8 (Ps 44:7); 1 Cor 15:24 (παραδιδόναι as Diod S 1, 43, 6); B 4:4 (Da 7:24). Ps 95:10 (Justin, A I, 41, 4, D. 73: ὁ κύριος ἐβασίλευσεν ἀπὸ τ. ξύλου) is the basis for β. Ἰησοῦ ἐπὶ ξύλου the rule of Jesus on the cross B 8:5 (s. Windisch, Hdb. ad loc.).—Hb 11:33; 1 Cl 61:1.

ⓑ esp. of God’s rule the royal reign of God (usually rendered ‘kingdom of God’, and oft. understood as royal realm but with dilution of the primary component of reigning activity), a chiefly eschatological concept, beginning to appear in the prophets, elaborated in apocalyptic passages (Mi 4:7f; Ps 102:19; 144:11–13; Wsd 6:4; 10:10; Da 3:54; 4:3; cp. SibOr 3:47f.—Diod S 5, 71, 1 Zeus takes over the βασιλεία from Cronus; Sextus 311 κοινωνεῖ βασιλείας θεοῦ σοφὸς ἀνήρ) and taught by Jesus. The expressions vary; β. τοῦ θεοῦ and τῶν οὐρανῶν have essentially the same mng., since Israelites used οὐρανός (-οί) as well as other circumlocutions for θεός (cp. Mt 19:23f; s. Bousset, Rel.³ 314f); the latter term may also emphasize the heavenly origin and nature of the reign.—Dalman, Worte 75–119; JWeiss, D. Predigt Jesu v. Reiche Gottes² 1900, 1–35; ESellin, D. isr.-jüd. Heilandserwartung 1909, D. alt. Prophetismus 1912, 136ff; BDuhm, D. kommende RG 1910; SMowinckel, Psalmenstudien II 1922, 146ff; LDürr, Ursprung u. Ausbau d. isr.

Eschatologie der jüd. Gemeinde im ntl. Zeitalter ’34; Ltzm., D. Weltheiland 1909; TManson, The Teaching of Jesus ’55, 116–284; SAalen, NTS 8, ’61/62, 215–40 (‘house’ or ‘community’ of God); GLadd, JBL 81, ’62, 230–38 (‘realm’); FNötscher, Vom A. zum NT ’62, 226–30 (ethical).

α. β. τῶν οὐρανῶν mostly in Mt: 3:2; 4:17; 5:3, 10, 19f al.; otherw. (Did., Gen. 52, 11; 60, 28) J 3:5 v.l.; AcPl Ha 8, 31.

β. β. τοῦ θεοῦ (cp. Orig., C. Cels. 3, 40, 21) Mt 6:33; 12:28; 21:31, 43; Mk 1:15; 4:11, 26, 30 al.; Lk 4:43; 6:20; 7:28; 8:1 al.; Ac 1:3; 8:12; 14:22; 19:8; 28:23, 31; J 3:3, 5; Ro 14:17 (defined as δικαιοσύνη, εἰρήνη, χαρά); 1 Cor 4:20 al.; Ox 1 verso, 7f; Dg 9:1; B 21:1; Pol 2:3; β. θεοῦ 1 Cor 6:10, cp. 9; 15:50; Gal 5:21; Pol 5:3; β. τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ θεοῦ Eph 5:5; τοῦ Χριστοῦ 1 Cl 50:3.

γ. β. τοῦ πατρός Mt 13:43; 26:29.

δ. β. αὐτοῦ (=τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου) Mt 13:41; Lk 24:26 v.l.; cp. Col 1:13.

ε. β. τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Δαυίδ Mk 11:10, since the Davidic kgdm. is to be reestablished under the Son of David, the Messiah (cp. Is 9:5f; Jer 23:5f).

ζ. ἡ β. τοῦ κυρίου B 4:13; ἡ β. αὐτοῦ (=κυρίου) ἡ ἐπουράνιος 2 Ti 4:18; EpilMosq 5; ἡ οὐράνιος β. MPol 22:3; ἡ ἐν οὐρανῷ β. Dg 10:2.

η. αἰώνιος β. τοῦ κυρίου (cp. Da 4:3; Just.; CIG II, 2715a, 3 ἐπὶ τῆς τῶν κυρίων Ῥωμαίων αἰωνίου ἀρχῆς, Dssm., B 277f) 2 Pt 1:11; cp. MPol 20:2.—The greatest blessings conceivable are found in the β. Mt 13:44f. The foll. expr. refer to obtaining it = participate in its benefits: ἅψασθαι τῆς β. B 7:11; δέχεσθαι Mk 10:15; διδόναι Lk 12:32; εἰσέρχεσθαι εἰς τὴν β. Mt 5:20; 7:21; 18:3; 19:23; Mk 10:23ff; Lk 24:26 P⁷⁵ (first hand); J 3:5; Ac 14:22; Hs 9, 12, 3f (HWindisch, D. Sprüche v. Eingehen in d. Reich Gs: ZNW 27, 1928, 163–92); εἰσήκειν εἰς τὴν β. 2 Cl 11:7; ἔρχεσθαι εἰς τὴν β. 9:6; ἑτοιμάζειν Mt 25:34; εὔθετον εἶναι τῇ β. Lk 9:62; εὑρεθῆναι εἰς τὴν β. Hs 9, 13, 2; ζητεῖν Mt 6:33; Lk 12:31; καταξιοῦσθαι τῆς β. 2 Th 1:5; κατοικεῖν ἐν τῇ β. Hs 9, 29, 2; κληρονομεῖν Mt 25:34; 1 Cor 6:9f; 15:50; IPhld 3:3; cp. κληρονόμος τῆς β. Js 2:5; μαθητεύεσθαι τῇ β. Mt 13:52; μεθιστάναι εἰς τὴν β. Col 1:13; φθάνει ἡ β. ἐπί τινα Lk 11:20. The phrase ὁρᾶν τὴν β. see the kgdm.=‘realize the fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel’ occurs Mk 9:1; Lk 9:27; J 3:3; Hs 9, 15, 3. The mysteries of the kgdm. can be revealed to those for whom they are intended Mt 13:11; Mk 4:11; διαγγέλλειν Lk 9:60; διαμαρτυρεῖσθαι Ac 28:23; κηρύσσειν καὶ εὐαγγελίζεσθαι Lk 8:1; sim. 16:16; cp. κηρύσσειν τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς β. Mt 4:23; 9:35; 24:14; κηρύσσειν τὴν β. Lk 9:2; Ac 28:31; λαλεῖν περὶ τῆς β. Lk 9:11. Keep fr. entering: κλείειν Mt 23:13; cp. κλεῖδες τῆς β. 16:19 (s. κλεῖς 1); αἴρειν ἀπό τινος 21:43.—Spoken of as present Mt 12:28; Lk 11:20, perh. also 17:20f (see s.v. ἐντός). Viewed as future, but close at hand ἤγγικεν ἡ β. Mt 3:2; 10:7; Mk 1:15; Lk 10:9, 11; perh. Mk 1:15; ἐγγύς ἐστιν Lk 21:31; ἔρχεται Mt 6:10; Mk 11:10; Lk 11:2; 17:20; μέλλει ἀναφαίνεσθαι 19:11; προσδέχεσθαι τὴν β. Mk 15:43; ἐκδέχεσθαι τὴν β. 2 Cl 12:1; μέλλει ἔρχεσθαι 1 Cl 42:3; ἡ μέλλουσα β. 2 Cl 5:5; ἥξει ἡ β. 12:2. Conceived of as a banquet (Billerb. IV 1154ff): ἀνακλιθῆναι ἐν τῇ β. Mt 8:11; sim. 26:29; Mk 14:25; Lk 13:28f; 22:16, 18, 30; cp. the parables 14:15ff; Mt 22:2ff. Participants in it are called υἱοὶ τῆς β. Mt 8:12 (of mere external connection); 13:38. Prerequisite for participation is μετάνοια Mt 4:17; Mk 1:15; the willingness to become like children Mt 18:3f; 19:14; Mk 10:14f; Lk 18:16f. Only uprightness will inherit the β. Mt 5:20. Degrees and grades 5:19; 18:1, 4. The prosperous have difficulty entering 19:23f; Mk 10:23–25; Lk 18:24f (cp. vs. 29), those who persist in sin have no prospects at all Mt 13:24ff, 36ff, 47ff.—Paul thinks of the β. as someth. that effects changes in pers. resulting in righteousness, peace (w. God) and joy Ro 14:17. It manifests itself in deeds, not in words 1 Cor 4:20. Those committed to sin will not inherit it 6:9f; Gal 5:21; Eph 5:5 (cp. 2 Cl 9:6); the latter passages show that for Paul the kgdm. is essentially future, since Christians await the complete victory of the spirit over the flesh. Cp. also 2 Ti 4:1. Flesh and blood will not inherit it, i.e. bodies under the direction of the spirit of Christ are required for entrance 1 Cor 15:50 (JJeremias, NTS 2, ’56, 151–59). None other than God calls people into it 1 Th 2:12.—HJWesterink, Het Koninkrijk Gods bij Pls ’37.—The most important lit. to 1931 in PFeine, Theol. d. NTs⁷ ’36, 73.

② territory ruled by a king, kingdom (Diod S 4, 68, 4; Appian, Mithrid. 105 §496 ἡ βας. ὅλη=the whole kingdom; OGI 383, 25 [I B.C.]; Ps 67:33; 134:11; Bar 2:4; Tob 1:21; 1 Macc 1:6; 3:27; 2 Macc 9:25; 3 Macc 6:24 al. LXX) Mt 12:25f; 24:7; Mk 3:24; 6:23 (Socrat., Ep. 1, 10 τ. βασιλείας μέρος διδόναι); 13:8; Lk 11:17f; 21:10; αἱ β. τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου IRo 6:1. In the account of the temptation Mt 4:8; Lk 4:5 (in a manner very different from Jesus, Alexander [Diod S 17, 51, 2] asks his father, Zeus Ammon, for τὴν ἁπάσης τῆς γῆς ἀρχήν and finds a hearing).—EDNT. DELG s.v. βασιλεύς. M-M. TW. Spicq. Sv.

βρέχω 1 aor. ἔβρεξα. Pass.: fut. 3 sg. βραχήσεται Is 43:3; 2 aor. ἐβράχην (Pind., Hdt. et al.; pap, LXX; TestSol 10:7 C; GrBar; ApcSed 8:10 p. 133, 16 Ja.; Ar. 4, 3).

① to cause someth. to become wet, to wet (B-D-F §309, 2) τινί with something (schol. on Apollon. Rhod. 2, 819) τοῖς δάκρυσιν τοὺς πόδας feet with tears Lk 7:38, 44 (cp. Ps 6:7; IG XIV, 1422, 5 δακρύοισιν ἔβρεξαν ὅλον τάφον). Without obj. ἵνα μὴ ὑετὸς βρέχῃ that no rain may fall Rv 11:6 (τ. ἡμ. is acc. of duration of time; B-D-F §161, 2; Rob. 469ff).

② to cause rain to fall, send rain (Phryn. 291 Lob.; Polyb. 16, 12, 3; ἐὰν ἐπὶ πλέον βραχῇ, φθείρεται ἡ γῆ Ar. 4, 3) pers. (B-D-F §129) of God (Gen 2:5 ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν; s. Philo, Leg. All. 1, 25; 26; 29; POxy 1482, 6 [II A.D.] ὁ Ζεὺς ἔβρεχε.—Proverbially of Zeus, who sometimes lets the sun shine and sometimes sends rain: Theognis 25; Theocritus 4, 43; Liban., Declam. 1, 78 vol. V p. 57, 1 F.) βρέχει causes it to rain Mt 5:45; GNaass 59, 24. ἔβρεξεν πῦρ καὶ θεῖον Lk 17:29 (s. Gen 19:24, but w. κύριος as the subj.; cp. Ezk 38:22; PGM 36, 301; SibOr 5, 508), but cp. vs. 28, a formulaic parallel, w. meteorological phenomenon as subj.

③ to fall in drops, rain, impers. βρέχει it rains (so since the comic poet Teleclides [V B.C.]; Epict. 1, 6, 26; SibOr 5, 377) Js 5:17; perh. Lk 17:29 (s. 2 end).—DELG. M-M.

βρύχω impf. ἔβρυχον; fut. 3 sg. βρύξει; 1 aor. 3 sg. ἔβρυξεν LXX to grind one’s teeth, gnash, a sign of violent rage (Theodor. Prodr. 5, 49 H.) τοὺς ὀδόντας ἐπʼ αὐτόν they gnashed their teeth against him Ac 7:54 (cp. Lex. Vind. p. 34, 5 βρύχει τ. ὀδόντας ἄνθρωπος, βρυχᾶται δὲ λέων=humans gnash their teeth, lions roar; Job 16:9; Ps 34:16; 36:12; SibOr 2, 203; Hippocr., 8 p. 16 [Mul. 1, 2], Epid. 5, 86 and other medical wr. [Hobart 208] of chattering of the teeth in chills and fevers). The expression may also be intended as metaph. become enraged (so NRSV with others, unless the translators are thinking in terms of functional equivalence).—Frisk.
